i've been thinking about makeup again, which is what i always do when my skin gets bad. i need to remind myself of my Feminist Convictions that i don't need to give into a mass cultural notion of female beauty, and my selfhood is not contingent on not having acne scarring and pimples. i get into a debate, proving my points for why i don't need to wear makeup, in order to counter the fact that someone always makes a comment on how i should. i will Grit Teeth And Bare It.

Makeup is a personal choice and I know a great many strong feminist women who wear it. Letting one side or the other dictate whether or not you wear makeup leaves you a slave to someone else's opinion. Even if the intention is good.
I don't have a problem with wearing makeup. I wear rather outrageous makeup quite often, as an expression of my personality that some people appreciate and others don't.
What I do have a problem with is the idea of wearing makeup because we feel we're inadequate -- not pretty enough, too wrinkly, too old-looking, that sort of thing. Makeup should be a decision like 'do I wear the dark black or the lighter black today' as opposed to 'gee, those varicose veins are visible, maybe I really shouldn't be wearing shorts'-type of thought processes.
Oh, and the blue yarn on my blog is Artful Yarns Shakespeare!
I wonder what it'd look like if they'd named it after Byron.
